The State of the Homebrew Games Scene In 2009

Posted by Soulskill on from the more-the-merrier dept.

Craig writes "DCEmu has released an article detailing the current state of the homebrew scene on all game consoles, from the Sega Dreamcast to the Nintendo DS to the Nintendo Wii. It even covers unreleased consoles such as Pandora and GP2xWiz. The article explains what is needed to run emulators and games, and whether or not it's worth bothering for each console."

      Phantom -noun :
      (1)an appearance or illusion without material substance, as a dream image, mirage, or optical illusion. (2)A person or thing of merely illusory power, status, efficacy, etc.

      One things for sure, they should get an A+ for naming it appropriately.

    One reason I don't understand TFA is that the punctuation is all over the place... What the hell is up with this sentence:

    "The most powerful console of the next generation is a console that you can install Linux on but for most Linux is too complicated, for a short time there was quite a few BD-J Homebrew releases which used a exploit in the java on the PS3 to release games and some emulators on the PS3, this was killed off by Sony when they released a new firmware.

    Who cares what they're playing in Israel.

    Seems pretty easily understandable to me. Not everyone speaks English as a first language, you know. Some people are Mexican.
